One other thing I really dig about going to toycons are the hordes of anime geeks donning crazy outfits portraying their favorite characters. Granted, there are not a few whose costumes are a bit on the sloppy side (but hey, I still give them an A for effort), but there are those who really put on a show and will just amaze you with their outfit.

If you want to practice your skill in portraiture or simply build up your confidence in asking a total stranger for a quick photo, a comicons and toycons are one of the best places to do it. These guys aren’t shy to have their pictures taken, in fact, they like it when people ask for them. Well, the only thing is you have to find a suitable background for your models, like I mean, somewhere without the crowd or mall advertisement or whatever distracting thing.
